Do you have a thermal fan clutch?
I don't know...how do I tell??
Buy new motor mounts. You only need the fan shroud if you ever drive slower than forty miles an hours. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@billhughes.com
You say you don't feel play or slop in the fan right?
Some fans have a clutch that goes bad and causes your symptoms. If you can turn the fan when the engine is stopped, it has a clutch. If it turns free when cold and turns 'really' stiff after a 'hot' shutdown, it is working right.
If there is no fan play, you have a blown engine or tranny mount likely.
How rusty is the body? If the front center body mount under the grill has failed, that could cause it too.

Jeremy, After I removed & re-installed my XJ's fan shroud while changing the serpentine belt, I would occ. hear a noise, which I finally determined to be the fan hitting the shroud. What I found was, I had failed to position the tabs on the bottom of the shroud into the locator slots, allowing the shroud to be drawn into the fan blades.
